“I have enjoyed the friendly and supportive atmosphere at Bangor,” he said.
And the sheikh, who plans to use his business doctorate to help with developing Abu Dhabi’s considerable oil-inspired economic growth, said although he enjoyed the support of his family it had been his decision to go to Bangor.
He said: “I inherited my royal title but I am glad to have gained my PhD independently.”
After gaining his MPhil at Cambridge University, Sheikh Hazza enrolled on a PhD programme at Bangor Business School undertaking research in “Natural Resources, Economic Development and Security in the United Arab Emirates”, supervised by Dr David Law and Professor Phil Molyneux, head of the business school.
Reflecting on Sheikh Hazza’s time at the university, Dr Law said yesterday: “Sheikh Hazza was a very good student, who was especially impressive in his articulate defence of his wide-ranging PhD thesis in the final viva voce examination.
“I am sure his work will enable him to make a substantial contribution to the future development of the UAE.”
Sheikh Hazza, who loves writing poetry, is a keen sportsman with active interests in falconry and horse-riding. In 2005 he won the world championship in endurance horse-riding.
